VALUATION

Value is not a singular, universal term when it comes to determining the value of a business. There are four standards of value.

  • FAIR VALUE: The price a willing buyer and seller agree on as fair. (synergistic buyer)

  • INVESTMENT VALUE: The price a willing buyer accepts the purchase based on investment objectives. (financial buyer)

  • LIQUIDATION VALUE: Buyer and seller agree without exposing business to the open market. (orderly/forced sale)

  • FAIR MARKET VALUE: We commonly view it as the most relevant standard of value when evaluating a business.

  • GOODWILL: We calculate by subtracting tangible value from the total value. The result is goodwill or intangible value.
  • MERGERS/ACQUISITIONS: Our end goal with M&A’s is to realize the economic gains and economies of scale. This becomes possible when the two firms involved in the M&A are stronger, more productive and more profitable.

“I hired Pete because of a friends referral who Pete represented in the successful sale of his company. I had received inquirers from potential buyers and needed assistance in the acquisition process. We had multiple offers from real buyers and I received more than I expected in selling my business. Pete successfully closed the transaction within 90 days. I would recommend Pete if you have an interest in selling your business.”

Shane Melnick, Owner of Maverick Building Group

I had several potential buyers interested in buying my business when I hired Pete. His group prepared a professional Offering Memorandum which was presented to 25 potential buyers. As a result of Premier’s marketing process, we received 6 real offers and ultimately sold to a large public company. The final deal was a mostly all cash deal which was significantly higher than the several buyers I was initially speaking with prior to hiring Pete. I would certainly hire Pete again…

Chuck Bothe, Owner of Seffner Rock and Gravel, Inc.

We had been looking to sell our business for a while but did not feel comfortable with any potential business brokers. When we were introduced to Pete, we hired him due to his extensive experience in the building products distribution industry. He prepared a very professional Offering Memorandum and ultimately, we received multiple offers. We ended up closing with a multi-billion conglomerate at a higher price than expected. We would certainly recommend Pete to anyone.

Odis Ward, President of Wingate Supply

I had an active deal working with Pete in 2007 with Lehman Brothers when the market crashed, and Lehman Brothers folded. While the deal did not close, I again hired Pete to represent me in the sales of my 750-acre aggregate mining operations in 2022. Due to his vast experience in the building material industry Pete was able to obtain multiple offers from large strategic players and ultimately sold to Summit Materials at a premium valuation…
